Is Donald Trump’s U.S. Senate Pick in South Carolina Eligible to Run?
Darline Graham Nordone’s ballot crisis looms large ahead of special primary election…

The new GOP rule to close the party’s primary elections was a mistake. Governor McMaster was correct in his assessment that closed party primaries don’t serve the long term interests of the GOP. That’s especially true by limiting the field to candidates who“participated in two of the last three party primaries”. Such a retrospective rule is especially unfair to Nordone who should have every right to run for her late brother’s Senate seat. The GOPs shortsighted requirement will now potentially disqualify Senator Graham’s own sister who now has President Trump’s “full and unconditional endorsement”. This new GOP rule also leaves conservative independent voters homeless.
It doesn’t make any difference, every GQP candidate’s head is so far up Trump’s ass they are licking his tonsils.
The humiliation isn’t Trump’s, he wins no matter what. The humiliation is for all these candidates who have to play along with this demented delusional felon-in-chief and pretend things like high gas prices and grocery costs are not singlehandedly caused by Big Daddy.
A runoff is just an extra situational step in a primary. Voting in a runoff is by definition a vote in that process. My concern is that we really have no clue what her politics are, and that’s too much of a risk for a six- year term. How many of us have siblings with drastically different political views than ourselves? Being Graham’s sister, on its face means nothing, predicatively speaking.
